Periodontal recessions can cause aesthetic and functional problems, especially in the anterior region or when combined with exposed crown margins. A combination of periodontal disease, recession with exposed root surface, hard-tissue defects and age emphasizes the need for treating these defects. If crown margins are exposed and surgical treatment is not possible, aesthetics and function can only be improved by replacement of the restoration. The restorative treatment option with a gingiva-shaded composite is especially valuable for dental fear patients or older patients with general or local risk factors, surgical contra-indications or Class III and IV recessions with questionable prognosis of surgery. The step-by-step-approach described in this article is an alternative, minimal-invasive treatment concept for cervical lesions in combination with all kinds of periodontal recessions, that is especially suitable for wedge-shaped defects next to exposed crown margins. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: With this treatment concept, the reader should be able to use gingiva-shaded composite for different indications, such as exposed root surfaces or crown margins in combination with recessions.
